For those that have seen the watch, how does the flattened off lug section look? This seems a bit clumsy compared to the original:
I neeed to leave some space just in case something special turns up.
Interesting commentary, doesn’t mention the biggest issue for me - the flattened off section of case over the lugs looking weird. The hour hand definitely could be a smidge longer but looks better on the Miami than the others. I’m kinda ok with the pricing, $400 is way low given the quality improvements and general industry pricing over the last 30 years, maybe $1000-1200 would have been better?
As with the 1986 model, the distinctive case shape is more evident in the silver steel version than in the black DLC steel case or in the coloured bio-polyamide versions, but it doesn't bother me at all, not even in the silver steel version. It's part of the watch's strong personality 👍🏼
C C-BallsI think $1,200 would've been the sweet spot. But from what I understand they are selling really well anyway...so what do I know? I still bought the white one, like a sucker.
C C-BallsThis is me. I'm getting the Monza releases and really tempted by Singapore and Mexico City.....but I need to leave a space for a future Katayama or Senna release and my dedicated Formula 1 watch box is getting full!
I think TAG could kill two birds with one stone. Release a Senna model exactly in the OG Katayama's colors and change the crystal to have the "Ayrton Senna" signature in place of "Ukyo Katayama". Or perhaps to make it more unique, give it a green strap instead of red.
I’m quite surprised the Miami edition is still available online, thought it would have sold out by now. Priced too high?
At the TAG Heuer boutique in Barcelona, they confirmed to me -when I picked mine up on May 2nd- that they would only receive the six assigned to them, and that they were sold out on the first day of pre-sale, April 29th.
The price of the Miami GP seems reasonable compared to the other versions and considering its black DLC steel finish on case and buckle, which always tends to represent a premium over standard steel (or over a plastic case). In fact all F1 Solargraph with steel bracelet have the same price (1850€) and all versions on rubber strap have also the same price (1750€) regardless of whether they are limited or regular editions, and regardless of the material and finish of the case
Good thing you ordered when you did! Do you plan to pick up other models too?
I thought it was particularly reasonable! It’s a shame it’s a LE not a regular edition because I think this is one of the best looking.

I photoshopped these Senna Concepts for fun. I'm leaning towards the middle one. Thoughts?
Thanks for the feedback @imagwai and @Albert-AMG!
Here's version 2. Trying out different arrangements with and without the S logo and Ayrton Senna signature. Thoughts?
Nice! 😊👍🏼
Probably the signature together with the S logo makes the dial too busy… I think it looks better with just the signature like in the yellow strap version
Maybe the S logo could be engraved on the strap, instead of the TAG Heuer logo at the bottom (and in the same colour as the strap, in the same way as the TH logo is now)
Perhaps his signature is transparently engraved in the glass and the red S?
